How can I get more symmetrical and attractive breasts?

Thank you for your photo. You have several issues going on. One is the obvious breast asymmetry, second, your breasts are sitting far apart on the chest wall, third, you have axillary breast tissue/excess fat and you have significant excess fat on your midsection. I believe you need all these areas corrected or improved to give you "attractive" breasts and more symmetry. You will never be 100% symmetrical! Your breasts will always be somewhat far apart and will not have close... more

Breast Shape differences

Note that breast assymetry is normal to some extent. When there is asignificant difference, such as in your case, different procedures will be required. I would recommend a breast augmentation on the smaller side with a breast lift (with or without an implant) on the opposite side.

Different sized breasts

Different sized breasts can be corrected with implants. Often, different sized (volume) implants are used on each side. A surgeon can determine if there is more work to be done that just putting in implants. An examination with your surgeon can set your mind at ease and give you options from which to choose.

How do I correct my breast asymmetry?

Breast asymmetry is very common. Most commonly the differnce in shape/size is mild. But not uncommonly the difference can be quite significant, as in your case. You need to first decide if you are happy with the left breast size. If you are, then I would suggest performing a breast reduction on the right breast and leaving the left breeast alone. If you feel that you would also like to increase the size of the left breast, then I would suggest inserting an implant on the left side and... more

Breast asymmetry

It's clear that your right breast needs to be at least lifted and possibly reduced while your left breast needs to be augmented. Truthfully a lifted breast rarely looks like an augmented one and I would consider using a Small implant on the right as well. Such large asymmetries are difficult to treat and you need to find someone with experience in these kinds of cases. Get several consultations and ask to see photos of each surgeon's work;... more

Correcting breast asymmetry

Hello and thank you for the question. In review of your photographs, you have a fairly straightforward problem that will require a breast lift or mastopexy on the right and a breast augmentation on the left. It may necessary to perform this in a staged manner for optimal results. An examination would be required to determine exactly the what would best suit you. I would recommend consulting with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your region to get a formal opinion. Best... more

Breast asymmetry

For your type of asymmetry there are many options available to improve your asymmetry. Different plastic surgeons are likely to come up with a variety of solutions. I think you would benefit from a breast lift on the right size and an implant on the left size. This would improve the asymmetry greatly. Some residual asymmetry will be inevitable and you need to be aware of that if you undergo surgery. It may take more than one operation to get the optimal result.

Breast asymmetry options

The surgical procedure used to correct your asymmetrical breasts depends on whether or not you like the size of your right or left breast. If you like the larger right breast, then the right breast needs a small lift and the left, and implant. If the left breast is the size you want to be, then I would do a lift or Mastopexy and a small reduction on the right. If you would like to go larger, then lift and add implants to the right and augment the left as well. This will improve your... more

Treatment of asymmetric breasts

The situation can be made more symmetric through surgery via a number of different procedure combinations. Given your overall body shape, breast gland and fat distribution and breast skin condition I think you could get the left to be more like the right by just putting a subglandular implant on the left. The main problem would be picking the implant size. The question would be do you want some aesthetic improvement or do you just want the left to look more like the right. Asymmetry... more

Breast asymmetry

It seems that you have a constricted/tuberous breast on the left and a larger/ptotic on the right. This and asymmetry can be significantly improved with a breast augmentation on the left and breast lifting/augmentation on the right. Sometimes a 2 staged procedure is necessary from the safety and/or final cosmetic outcome standpoint. Prior to surgery it would be best if you are as close to “baseline” weight as possible. Also, use of nicotine products would be... more

Breast asymmetry can be corrected in one operation.

Hi. You look like an easy case. You need a small breast implant in the left breast, and a lift of the right breast. see video

Options for breast asymmetry

Dear Anna, The first question is 'are you happy with your left, smaller breast?'. If so, then you just need a reduction and lift of your right breast. If you prefer the volume of the right, then you need a lift of the right combined with an implant to the left. If you would like both breasts to be bigger, then you need a lift of the right and implants in both, with a bigger implant in the smaller, left breast. I think you should get a good improvement with... more

Breast Asymmetry

Thanks for the photos. After reviewing your photos your breast asymmetry can be significantly improved. Your right breast is much larger, the NAC is displaced laterally compared to the left and hangs lower. On the right side you would need a reduction/mastopexy with medilalization of the NAC and on the left an augmentation. Usually this is accomplished in one stage. There is a good possibility you will need a revision in 6-12 months to improve the symmetry... more

Breast Asymmetry may require more than on operation

Some breast asymmetries like yours need more than one operation. First operation will need to lift and reduce your right breast to have a matched pair. This will restore looks. If you were to want larger size of breasts, then you will needa breast implants. However that will be dependent on your own desire about your new look.

Options for breast asymmetry

Hello, Yes the symmetry and shape of your breasts can be improved. Depending on your goal, you will likely need to undergo a breast augmentation on the left and a lift/reduction on the right. Whether you accomplish this in one surgery or in two depends on your plastic surgeon. Meet with a handful of plastic surgeons and choose one that you feel comfortable with but that also has great before and after photos of patients with similar breast symmetry issues. All the best, Dr Repta more

You certainly can get much closer....

There are many women with breast shapes just like the ones you show in the pictures. Many ladies come in with significant asymmetries. The important thing to do is to find a board certified plastic surgeon preferably a member of ASAPS who is well seasoned in performing aesthetic surgery on the breast. You would most likely require a lift (at least on the droopier right side) along with implants in order to achieve symmetry. Whether or not this could be perfomed in one... more
